Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Re: Hmm...Posted by cj on July 20, 2000 at 10:00:27: In Reply to: Hmm... posted by Becky on July 20, 2000 at 00:35:37: This exact dilemma has been driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!! I was sure I was a 5/4 for the past five years, until very recently when I started reading and rereading and testing again. Now I'm pretty sure I'm a 4/5. But it is weird how close to the middle I am. More feeling than thinking though, I think. Or I feel that way, I guess. It's been sort of shaking my belief in the enneagram in a way though, which I've pretty much had complete faith in up until now. I'm looking at it this way (for now): the four in me is what I want to be, to develop, and in a way which I feel was partially crushed out of me due to growing up in an extremely cruel, sarcastic household. Not a good place for sensitive artists to thrive. I think I withdrew and became more fiveish for protection. But what I love most in myself and my life is closer to four than five. Deep deep deep connection to beauty, love, and spiritual joy.
